Su Qinghe searched around for a bit before finding a larger winnowing basket, and poured both the melon seeds and peanuts into it.
After shaking it evenly, it was even harder to tell how many melon seeds and peanuts there were originally.
Su Qinghe carried the winnowing basket back to the living room with satisfaction.
Qin Wang sat straight and proper in the living room, even his expression appearing somewhat solemn, and who knew what on earth he was thinking about.
Seeing Su Qinghe come out, Qin Wang said, “I counted just now, there are a total of one hundred and two candies, and we can only put two in each portion.”
Su Qinghe had thought that Qin Wang was just sitting here waiting, but she hadn’t expected that he would actually count the candies.
Fortunately, she had taken the peanuts and melon seeds away directly; otherwise, if he had counted those too, she really wouldn’t have been able to get anything else done.
Feeling secretly relieved, Su Qinghe immediately kept a poker face and said, “Then let’s put two in each portion. Your dad said, as long as the sentiment is conveyed, that’s enough.”
Qin Wang nodded, picked up a piece of kraft paper, and grabbed a handful of melon seeds and peanuts. Seeing it looked a bit sparse, he grabbed another handful.
Then, he placed two pieces of fruit hard candy on top and quickly wrapped up the kraft paper.
That movement was extremely swift.
It was a match for the clerks selling melon seeds, peanuts, and pastries at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative!
Su Qinghe watched in dumbfounded amazement, “Wait… wait! Slow down your movements, I didn’t see clearly yet!”
Hearing this, Qin Wang’s expression became even more smug.
But when he spoke, he pretended to act nonchalant.
“You don’t need to see clearly. You just unfold the paper one by one, put the melon seeds, peanuts, and candy inside, and I’ll handle the wrapping.”
Hearing this, Su Qinghe’s eyes lit up, “That’s a great idea!”
She could do a little less work now!
This sudden stepson is really not bad!
Su Qinghe had originally thought these tasks would take at least over an hour.
As a result, with this division of labor with Qin Wang, everything was all done in just over ten minutes!
There were still two fruit candies left, and quite a lot of melon seeds and peanuts remained.
Su Qinghe smiled and pushed these in front of Qin Wang, “You’ve been busy for a long time, eat some and take a break!”
As she spoke, Su Qinghe grabbed a handful of melon seeds and peanuts for herself and collapsed straight onto the sofa.
Lying down and cracking melon seeds, if she could watch television on top of that, it would be simply fantastic!
Too bad a television was a rare commodity in this era!
Although there were movie theaters and outdoor movies were occasionally shown,
the films were always those same ones, watching them back and forth wasn’t very interesting either.
Su Qinghe lay there with blank eyes, starting to miss the convenient life with the internet from her past life once again.
【Host’s needs detected. A virtual television is now on sale, visible only to the host. After purchase, it can be used to play films at any time.】
Su Qinghe quickly covered her balance tightly.
That scoundrel of a system was coming to rob her balance again!
Was it easy for her to earn these few nurture point?
Through all her hard work, she had managed to save up 803 with great difficulty!
She wouldn’t buy it!
Even if she died, she wouldn’t—
“System, how much is the virtual television?”
【Only 298!】
Why don’t you just go rob someone?
“Give me one!”
【Issued. The host can control it herself.】
With the experience of using the space and garbage disposal, Su Qinghe easily turned on the virtual television.
Extra-large screen!
Ultra-clear definition!
There were also a dazzling array of TV dramas, movies, and variety shows on it, all of which were familiar from her past life.
But why!
All the programs were grayed out!
And they were all clearly priced underneath!
“System, what is going on here? Why do all the films need to be purchased individually?”
【The TV dramas the host watched in her past life also required a VIP membership.】
“…”
Not learning anything good, only picking up bad habits!
This system is truly hopeless!
Su Qinghe cursed inwardly, and the next moment she spent three nurture point to buy empresses in the palace.
Curse as she might, she still had to watch it!
Fortunately, it could be viewed permanently after purchase, otherwise this scoundrelly system really couldn’t be kept!
Listening to that familiar music, Su Qinghe now just wanted to go back to her room to watch TV.
She turned to look at Qin Wang, “I’m sleepy and getting ready to take a nap. You should go back and take a nap too!”
Qin Wang’s face revealed a look of shock.
Take a nap?
Didn’t she only wake up mid-morning?
Su Qinghe couldn’t care less what Qin Wang was thinking, and added another instruction, “Don’t go out casually. If you want to go out to play, tell me in advance and let me know where you’re going! Your dad isn’t home, so I’m your guardian, and I have to be responsible for your safety!”
“Got it.”
Qin Wang gave an acknowledgment, really got up and walked out, quickly returning to his own room.
Watching him return to his room, Su Qinghe then contentedly went back to her own room.
She closed the door of the west wing room and locked it!
Returning to the bedroom, she drew the curtains, lay down on the kang, took out the small fan, and plugged it in!
Spending another dozens of nurture point to buy a bunch of snacks and drinks from the system mall, Su Qinghe comfortably lay on the kang and began watching empresses in the palace.
Eating potato chips and drinking cola.
Blowing the fan and watching TV.
Now this is the life a human should live!
At a time like this, how could there be no watermelon!
Su Qinghe quickly found a watermelon in the system mall. For just one nurturing point, she could buy a large seedless Kirin watermelon.
Spending another nurturing point, she bought a watermelon knife and cut the watermelon in half.
Half was put into the space.
The other half was eaten by scooping it out with a spoon.
This was happiness to the point of curling her toes!
As she watched, she grew sleepy. With a wave of her hand, she put all the snacks and drinks back into the space, turned off the virtual television, turned over, and went straight to sleep.
When Su Qinghe woke up again, the sun was setting behind the western hills once more.
Su Qinghe rubbed her hair and leisurely got out of bed.
After putting away the fan and making sure there were no things that shouldn’t appear in the room, she then walked outside.
Just as she walked to the doorway of the living room, she smelled the smoky scent of firewood burning.
The smell was drifting out from the kitchen!
Is there a fire?
Su Qinghe got a fright and hurriedly ran toward the kitchen.
As soon as she reached the kitchen doorway, Su Qinghe saw that Qin Wang was cooking inside!
Qin Wang actually knows how to cook?
Qin Wang was only a little taller than the stove.
At this moment, he was standing on a small stool, holding an iron spatula and vigorously scraping the vegetables inside.
On the stove were two pots, one large and one small.
Qin Wang was stir-frying dishes in the large pot, while the small pot had its lid on, white smoke puffing from the edges of the lid as the fragrance of rice drifted all around.
The kitchen was already hot in the summer, and with this being a clay stove burning firewood, it was even hotter inside.
Qin Wang’s cheeks were covered in sweat, and the clothes on his back were mostly soaked with sweat.
Just as Su Qinghe was staring, she saw Qin Wang turn his head to look over.
“You’re awake? Dinner will be ready in a moment.”
Su Qinghe hesitated for a moment before asking, “Why are you cooking?”
Didn’t we agree on eating at the State-run Restaurant or going to the Flour Mill Cafeteria?
How did he end up starting to cook?
“We can’t eat at the State-run Restaurant every day, it’s not good for my dad.”
Su Qinghe gritted her teeth, what a dad-obsessed male protagonist!
